Yesterday Centre's @coreysoper.bsky.social visited 25-6 Beacon School, Hinde House, Sheffield, to deliver CPD & to get to know the school. He was particularly inspired by the rich offers for pupils with SEND & alternate provision, & the community focus of the school.

#Sukkot begins at sunset: a Jewish festival that honours resilience, gratitude & togetherness.
It's traditional to build temporary shelters & to hang fruits from the roof at #harvest time.
The Centre wish 'Chag Sameach' to all those celebrating.

Thankyou to #BeaconSchool2425 colleagues for joining us to consider embedding whole school change, and for considering what might be possible in terms of Holocaust education, provision & practice in their schools.

Thanks to Lykos CEO Graham Tate for reflecting & sharing rich experience & insights as former Headteacher of QM Beacon School, #Highfields, with #BeaconSchool2425 cohort.
Graham offered pragmatism & examples that inspired & empowered colleagues.
